New Beginnings...

A new blog, a new location, a new last name, and hopefully a new body by May 9th, 2009 ...

Since Steve and I are starting out a new life together (officially on May 9th, 2009) I figured now would be as good a time as any to start a blog page so people can keep updated on what we're up to. Especially since we are hoping to make a move to Charlotte, NC sometime around next summer. We visited Charlotte the weekend of August 13th and then again last weekend to check out the northern and southern areas to figure out which specific areas we sould like to live. We are interested in new construction and obviously are finding MUCH cheaper prices for what you get down there. Last weekend, a bunch of our friends went down as well for the Tech/ECU game (Tech lost) and my friend Lauren rented a boat that we all took out on Lake Norman for th enice Labor Day weather. They do something really cool on Lake Norman where hundreds of boats go to the "Sandbar" and "link up" to each other and just hang out, drink beers, listen to music and swim all day. I'm already getting antsy to get out of here!

As excited as I am about moving, I having really grasped my soon to be last name yet (Dennis). Hmmm.... Steve has already mentioned a new nickname for me as "Jenn Denn". I'm not fond of it yet. Maybe it will grow on me??? I got so used to Stetson and I'm having issues of parting with it. I'm also not the type to hyphenate so I'm going to have to get used to Dennis. Not that I don't like the last name Dennis, I just don't like it with my first name....yet.

So, that takes care of all of my "new" things mentioned in the title of this first post except for my new body. I've been on and off doing Weight Watchers for the past year and I've lost up to 20 pounds and gained up to 5 pounds back and back and forth. I'm now starting fresh again and am back to my initial 20 pounds down weight. I'm hoping to lose another 20 in the next couple months before I get fitted for my wedding dress and before we go to Steve's 10 year high school reunion. Here's hoping!

Link up at Lake Norman! Just an idea of it but there were WAY more boats than this picture shows.
